Steven. That does make it seem as though the only thing worth complaining about was the "unusually" hostile EY behavior on that occasion. As if it were exceptional, not repeated before or since.

But that is inaccurate. That episode was the culmination of a long sequence of derogatory remarks. So that is what came before.

What came after? I have made a number of attempts to open a dialog on the important issue at hand, which is not the personal conflict but the question of AGI motivation systems. My attempts have been rebuffed. And instead I have been subjected to repeated attacks by SI members.

That would be six years of repeated attacks.

So portraying it as an isolated incident is not factually correct. Which was my point, of course.

I'm interested in any compiled papers or articles you wrote about AGI motivation systems, aside from the forthcoming book chapter, which I will read. Do you have any links?
